The Bahá'í International Community registered with the UN as an international non-governmental organization (NGO) in 1948. It enjoys consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the United Nations Children's Fund and working relations with several other UN agencies. Bahá'ís are active throughout the world in numerous networks and coalitions of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), focusing particularly on the advancement of the status of women, human rights, issues of prosperity and economic justice, and moral development. They are also deeply engaged in efforts to promote interfaith dialogue and joint action with other faith communities.
